Champs-Elysees Cocktail
Cognac

Champs-Elysees Cocktail

Rich and spirit-forward with a warming cognac backbone, the vivid herbal complexity of Green Chartreuse weaves through bright, zesty lemon sour notes. A touch of sweetness and saline depth round out the finish, leaving it long, aromatic, and elegantly balanced.

Harvard Cocktail
Cognac

Harvard Cocktail

Rich and warming on the palate, with cognac's stone-fruit depth meeting the herbal bittersweet complexity of red vermouth, underpinned by a subtle spice from the bitters and brightened by a fleeting effervescence.

Lion's Tail
Bourbon whiskey

Lion's Tail

A spicier take on a sour, combining the depth of bourbon with the refreshing tang of lime and the warm, aromatic notes of allspice. It offers a fresh, fruity, yet bittersweet and boozy experience.

Twentieth Century
Hayman's London Dry Gin

Twentieth Century

Medium boozy, sweet, and dry/sour with spirituous strength, citrus acidity, herbal complexity, bitterness from aromatised wine, and rich chocolate notes.
